The researchers adopted survey research design for the study. Two hundred and fifty (250) senior secondary school Economics students were randomly selected for the study. A researcher’s designed questionnaire titled “School Environment Questionnaire” (SEQ) with Cronbach’s Alpha reliability coefficient of 0.89 was used to collect data for the study.

Finding revealed that there is no significant relationship between school environment and students’ academic performance in Economics in senior secondary school in Ilorin (p-value 0.981 > 0.05). Also, the findings revealed that there is no significant relationship between school facilities and students’ academic performance in economics in senior secondary school in Ilorin (p-value 0.796 > 0.05). In addition, there is no significant relationship between classroom condition and students’ academic performance in economics in senior secondary school in Ilorin (p-value 0.734 > 0.05) and there is no significant relationship between school location and students’ academic performance in economics in senior secondary school in Ilorin (p-value 0.923 > 0.05).
